Troutline Premium Hare Fur Dubbing is a timeless natural material loved by tiers for its ideal balance of soft underfur and spiky guard hairs. Carefully selected and processed, this dubbing brings a realistic, buggy appearance to your nymphs and wet flies—perfect for imitating the legs, gills, and movement of aquatic insects.
This premium blend offers high versatility: use the soft underfur for smooth, slim bodies, or mix in guard hairs to create spiky thoraxes that trigger aggressive strikes from trout and grayling. It’s ideal for tying popular patterns like the Gold-Ribbed Hare’s Ear, Czech nymphs, or Euro-style river flies.
Why Choose Troutline Premium Hare Fur Dubbing?
Made from 100% natural hare fur – no synthetic blends
Perfect mix of fine underfur and guard hairs
Creates lifelike, buggy profiles that fish can’t resist
Ideal for Euro nymphs, wet flies, and thoraxes
Easy to dub by hand, waxed thread, or split-thread technique
How to Use:
Fine, smooth bodies: Use mostly underfur, applied tightly to the thread
Buggy thoraxes or legs: Add more guard hairs for movement and contrast
Brush for life: Use a dubbing brush or Velcro to bring out spikiness
Blendable: Easily mixes with other dubbing for custom effects
Educational Tip:
Always start with a thin dubbing noodle—apply gradually and build up bulk only as needed. For best results, match the amount of guard hair to the fly’s purpose: the more spiky, the more movement in water!
